Very nice 'Slog---I know the 2 of you had fun. Thanks for posting that hiker list too.

Did you get any photos? Love 'dem photos.

I'm leaving here Friday for the SE ADKs then up to New England for several weeks. I'm looking forward to it all.

Anyone wanting to join, send me a private message. I'm not much of a talker though.

Just got back from the Smokies and met two NOBO thru-hikers who are bringing up the tail. They hope to be finished by this fall, but were prepared to jump up to Katahdin if needed. They didnt have trail names yet.

A large group of NOBOs in Kent to Salisbury CT area just had some great trail magic from Brave Dave, Walkie Talkie, and Privy Boy. 100 degrees days are making us wimps and doing ten miles then hiding in AC the rest of the day where we can find it. Hope this heat breaks soon. First we had record floods now record heat. Hail the Class of 2006, we will record! :)

Thanks for the TRAIL MAGIC!!!! Did my section and I am home with my wife, bees, chickens and garden. Life is good, no GREAT.

Just glad we were able to "be there" as you passed thru. Even better that we got to cross paths several times.

Know what you mean about being home too. Enjoyed our time on the trail but there's NO place like home !!
